<h1>Print Reports (PDF) preferences</h1>
<p class="whs1">The Print Reports PDF preferences page 
 lets you set defaults for printing reports in PDF format. For example, 
 if most of your reports are printed in landscape orientation, you can 
 set your print default to landscape so you don't have to select this each 
 time you print. </p>
<p class="whs2">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="whs2">Prerequisites</p>
<ul type="disc" class="whs3">
	
<li class=p><p>You must select <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Use 
 PDF for printing report</B></span> in the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>General</B></span> 
 section in order to access the Print Reports (PDF) preferences setting. 
 &nbsp;</p></li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Select <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Preferences</B></span> at the top 
 of any page, and then click <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Print Reports 
 (PDF)</B></span>. These are the options:</p>
<ul type="disc" class="whs3">
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Export</B></span>: From 
 the drop-down list, select either <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Whole 
 report </B></span>or<span style="font-weight: bold;"><B> Portion displayed only</B></span> 
 to choose to export either the entire report or only the portion of your 
 report displayed in your browser. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Page Header and Footer</B></span>: 
 You can use headers and footers saved as part of the report settings or 
 use a customized header and footer on all your reports. Select <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Edit 
 Custom Settings</B></span> to access the Header/Footer Editor. You can specify 
 what text to print in the left, center, and right portions of the page's 
 header and footer. You can simply type this text or insert fields specific 
 to the report by choosing macros from the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Insert 
 Auto-text</B></span> drop-down list at the top of the page. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Report Header: </B></span>Click 
 <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Edit Custom Settings</B></span> to access 
 the Header/Footer Editor and specify the text to print in the report header. 
 Type this text in the box or choose auto text from the drop-down box to 
 the upper left.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p class="whs4"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Scaling</B></span>: 
 Adjust the amount of the report's content (and thus, the size of the font) 
 that prints on a page from the following scaling options:</p></li>
	<ul type="square" class="whs5">
		
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Adjust font to 
 __% of original size</B></span><span>:</span> Manually set the percent to 
 adjust the font on a page. </p></li>
		
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Fit to __ page(s) 
 wide by __ tall</B></span> (only visible if PDF printing is disabled): &nbsp;Specify 
 the page dimensions to which the contents will be fit. &nbsp;</p></li>
		
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Fit to page </B></span>(only 
 visible if PDF printing is disabled): Specify whether the page is adjusted 
 for <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>All columns</B></span>,<span style="font-weight: bold;"><B> 
 All Rows</B></span>, or both. </p></li>
	</ul>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Print the grid and 
 the graph on the same page</B></span>: Determine whether the grid and the 
 graph are printed on the same page when printing a report displayed in 
 Grid and Graph view. If you clear the check box, the grid and graph print 
 on separate pages. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Orientation</B></span>: 
 Print reports in either <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Portrait</B></span> 
 or <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Landscape</B></span> format. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Print cover page</B></span>: 
 Determine whether a cover page is printed and select one of the following 
 to determine which details are printed:</p></li>
	<ul type="square" class="whs5">
		
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>With Filter Details</B></span>: 
 Print the filter details of a report on a separate page. The filter details 
 are placed before the contents of the report.</p></li>
		
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>With Report Details</B></span>: 
 Print the report details of a report on a separate page. The report details 
 are placed before the contents of the report. </p></li>
		
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Cover page location</B></span>: 
 Determine whether the cover page is placed before or after the report.</p></li>
	</ul>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Expand all page-by 
 fields</B></span>: Print all combinations of items in the Page-by axis when 
 printing a report that has one or more items in the Page-by axis. To print 
 only the items currently displayed, clear this check box. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Paper size</B></span><span>: 
 Select</span> the paper size on which to print a report. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Margins (</B></span><span 
 style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"><I><B>Inches)</B></I></span>: Set the 
 top, left, right and bottom margins. For reports to print correctly, these 
 margin settings, the margin settings in the browser's File, and the Page 
 Setup option must match. This is only applicable if PDF printing is disabled. 
 The default values for all of them is 0.75 inches. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Maximum header/footer 
 size (</B></span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"><I><B>Inches</B></I></span><span 
 style="font-weight: bold;"><B>)</B></span><span>: S</span>et the size at which 
 the report header and footer can be overwritten. If the header or footer 
 is larger than its maximum size and the report must use the space to display 
 its content, the header or footer is cut off by the report content. If 
 the report does not use the space, the entire header or footer is displayed, 
 regardless of size. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Use bitmaps for graphs</B></span>: 
 Determine if graphs are generated using a bitmap format or a vector format 
 (default). Select the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Use bitmaps for 
 graphs</B></span> check box to specify that graphs are generated using a bitmap 
 format. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p class="whs6">When the<span style="font-weight: bold;"><B> 
 Use bitmaps for graphs</B></span> check box is selected, the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Use 
 draft quality for graphs</B></span> check box becomes available. Select the 
 <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Use draft quality for graphs</B></span> check 
 box if you want the exported PDF to use lower-quality graphs. This results 
 in a smaller PDF file size and is particularly helpful when you do not 
 intend to print the report or document. </p></li>
	<ul type="square" class="whs5">
		
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Embed fonts</B></span>: 
 Determine if you want to use the original fonts chosen in the Document 
 Editor to display and print the PDF, even on machines that do not have 
 those fonts installed. This ensures the portability of the PDF. </p></li>
		
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Show options when 
 exporting to PDF</B></span>: Determine whether the PDF Options page opens 
 each time a report is exported to PDF. If the check box is cleared, the 
 PDF Options page does not open unless the user chooses that setting in 
 the User Preferences.</p></li>
	</ul>
</ul>
<p>From the drop-down list at the bottom of the page, apply the changes 
 to the current project or all projects you have access to that are stored 
 on the Intelligence Server and then click <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Apply</B></span>.
